Well, I guess you told me! An ad hominem attack, spuriously citing a bunch of wholly unrelated issues, on which, BTW, we both agree. This clearly must be the same thing, huh? Why? What makes it the same?
Don't be so blinded by your own ideology that you ignore reality. Don't be so blinded by the other side's attempts to use this for political purposes that you ignore the element of truth behind this issue. Talk to epidemiologists and other doctors - many of whom are no friends of the Obama administration or the democrats. Do your research, before you jump down someone's throat - and by research, I mean real research, not just reading the uninformed opinions of others, here or elsewhere. I know doctors who take this seriously, and have advised me to do likewise. One of them is a survivalist who happens to be an expert in emergency medicine. Are they panicked over it? No, nor am I - but it is one contingency among many that it would be prudent to prepare for.
Of course the flu is a threat, but it pales in comparison to the threat caused by government, and history proves my point.
How many died in the last hundred years from flu? Millions I’m sure, but not nearly the over 100 million who died from governmentitis.
There is good reason, backed by hundreds of years of evidence, to be leery of ‘I’m here from the government to help you’
If you agree that the government can’t protect us from those things I’ve listed, what evidence do you have that they are able to protect us from the flu?
I assert, based on evidence, that they will make things worse. AIDs, anyone?
